Florida Senator Marco Rubio to Make an Announcement Whether He Will Run for President Today

On the same day that Democrat Hillary Clinton announced her renewed run for the presidency, ABC NEWS ANNOUNCED AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW OF SENATOR MARCO RUBIO BY GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOSThe expectation of Rubio’s announcement is based on a combination of tips, and the fact that the Senator has met with donors interested in his running for president and that he has been traveling to important early primary states

According to an ABC News report on Sunday, “Republican Sen. Marco Rubio will sit down for an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Chief Anchor and "This Week" host, George Stephanopoulos, on Monday -- just a few hours before the Florida senator will announce whether he will run for president in 2016. *** The interview will take place in Miami. *** Rubio, 43, has been considering a presidential bid and he has indicated he will reveal his decision tomorrow....” (See “ABC's George Stephanopoulos To Interview Marco Rubio On Monday (EXCLUSIVE)” by Arlette Saenz, 4/12/15, ABC News/ This Week [http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/abcs-george-stephanopoulos-interview-marco-rubio-monday-exclusive/story?id=30237743]).

AT LEAST SOME MEDIA OUTLETS DO SAY THAT RUBIO WILL BE ANNOUNCING A RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY

Meanwhile, there is a report by KRDO News – TV 13 in Colorado that Senator Marco Rubio a Republican from Florida will be announcing the launch of his presidential campaign Monday evening in Miami during his speech at the Freedom Tower. That announcement will put Senator Rubio into the race for the GOP nomination with two other Republican Senators, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas (See “Marco Rubio to announce presidential bid Monday – Bid makes him 3rd GOP senator in the race” by Staff Writer, 4/13/15, KRDO News [http://www.krdo.com/news/marco-rubio-to-announce-presidential-bid-monday/32334640]). And a very similar report appeared in the Washington Post ( See "Marco Rubio set to announce presidential bid Monday" by Ed O'Keefe & Manuel Roig-Franzia, 4/13/15. Washington Post/ Post Politics http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2015/04/13/marco-rubio-set-to-announce-presidential-bid-do-not-publish/]).

The Rubio announcement will follow by just one day the announcement by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of her second bid for the Democratic Party's nomination in 2016.

While he has waited until Monday evening’s event to make his announcement, Rubio has traveled to key primary states and has gathered several multi-millionaires to serve as campaign fundraisers. The Washington Post and CNN report that while Rubio recently had done little campaigning, he has focused on fundraisers in New York, California, Texas, Illinois and Washington. Following the announcement of his entry into the race, Rubio will travel to Nashua, New Hampshire on Friday to join with other GOP presidential candidates at a Republican summit.

RESPONSE: THE “YES, SHE’S HERE ON THIS MARCO RUBIO THREAD USING BRUTE FORCE AS HER MAIN ARGUMENT” EDITION

OR THE " HILLARY ‘INTERNET EXPLOSION’ IS ASTRO-TURF" EDITION

INTERNET RESPONSE IS PART OF A PLANNED AND ORCHESTRATED “BRUTE FORCE” CAMPAIGN THAT’S BEEN BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY BILL AND HILLARY — PLUS “HILLARY’S TRENDING” INCLUDES A LARGE VOLUME OF ANTI-HILLARY SOCIAL MEDIA

Hillary's folks want to pretend that their "in-house' echo chamber is a sign of "support" -- it's not; it's a sign of the brute force - the Soviet Army style of warfare practiced by Hillary's Fifth Columnists. Plus, as far as the Hillary folks are concerned the knocks are the same as the boosts for their claims of “trending.”

In 2009-2010 the Democratic Party establishment called the Tea Party "astro-turf," as if it were something phony or synthetic. The internet or social media explosion mentioned by the Hillary person above is itself something that is not only phony and synthetic, it is bought and paid for. There were internet stories about how it would be done days, weeks even months before it happened.

The Hillary Clinton Campaign’s internet and social media tactics and strategy are described after the fact by CNN today (See “Social media reacts to Clinton's announcement (and that logo)” by Henry Hanks, 4/13/15, CNN [http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/12/politics/hillary-clinton-social-media-reax-feat/]). One of the take-aways from that article is that the Hillary folks are claiming the very high volume of opposition traffic as part of “Hillary’s trending.” There are several similar articles today around the various media.

For an example of where some of Hillary's internet and social media "reaction" might have came from, take a look at this (See “Hillary Clinton looks to Barack Obama digital alums” — A dream team of tech talent awaits her call” by Darren Samuelsohn1/28/15, Politico [http://www.politico.com/story/2015/01/hillary-clinton-digital-campaign-strategy-114710.html]).

Gail, did you see something about the Brooklyn Eagle covering a demonstration by a bunch of Haitians doing their demonstrating outside of Hillary Clinton’s Brooklyn Campaign Offices before she had even announced she was running for president?

It’s all supposed to be about both Bill and Hillary Clinton not doing all they should to help the Haitian people after the earthquake. Meanwhile, Hillary’s brother, Tony Rodham, was able to get a very rare mining permit from Haitian government for a gold mining company, where he’s on the board, possibly with some back and forth of the earthquake aid money involving the Clintons.

The answers from Clinton Foundation were not very responsive to the Haitians complaints, and the “denials” from the Clinton Foundation about having done anything for a gold mine sounded like an old time Clinton BS.

SEES AMERICA AS NEEDING TO MOVE INTO THE NEW CENTURY ON ALL FRONTS WHILE HILLARY CLINTON IS STUCK IN THE POLICIES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

CALLING HILLARY THE “CANDIDATE OF YESTERDAY” AND VARIOUS GENERATIONAL REFERENCES WERE VEILED SWIPES AT HILLARY’S ADVANCED AGE

The report in Newsmax about Senator Marco Rubio’s Monday presidential announcement speech could not have presented a starker contrast to the slick maneuver roll-out Hillary Clinton pulled on Sunday. Here’s how Newmax reporter handled what Rubio had to say: “Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida urged voters on Monday to make a ‘generational choice’ for new leadership that is not mired in the policies of the past, as the Republican announced he will enter the 2016 race for the White House. *** Rubio, 43, presented himself as a fresh face who could find new approaches needed for the United States to solve its challenges and compete in a global economy, and criticized Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton as a leader stuck in ‘yesterday.’ *** ‘The time has come for our generation to lead the way to a new American century,’ Rubio told a cheering crowd at Miami's Freedom Tower, where thousands of Cuban exiles fleeing the Communist-run island in the 1960s were first registered by U.S. authorities....” (See “Rubio: 2016 White House Race a 'Generational Choice’ ” by Thomson/Reuters staff writer, 4/13/15, Newsmax [http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/Marco-Rubio-speech-Miami-candidacy/2015/04/13/id/638224/]).

The article appearing in Newsmax also re-emphasized similar points paralleling the candidate’s own reiterations of those issues in his speech — “... Without naming Clinton, who announced her candidacy on Sunday, Rubio made reference to ‘a leader from yesterday’ who had ‘announced her campaign yesterday.’ *** ‘But yesterday is over, and we are never going back,’ he said. ‘We Americans are proud of our history, but our country has always been about the future.’ *** Rubio's relative youth contrasts with Clinton, who is 67 and has been on the national political scene for more than 20 years, initially as first lady and later as a U.S. senator and then secretary of state....”
